Northern Lights dazzle across North East and Cumbria

The Northern Lights have once again been visible across large swathes of north-east England and Cumbria.

According to BBC Weather, it was the strongest and most widespread show of lights in the UK since May.

The phenomenon, also known as aurora borealis, occurs when charged particles from the Sun collide with gases in the Earth’s atmosphere around the magnetic poles. Scientists have likened it to “a big sneeze by the Sun”.

As the particles collide with the gases, light is emitted at various wavelengths, creating colourful displays in the sky.
